When you use zsh as your shell, you can use
setopt EXTENDED_HISTORY
to save timestamps to you commands in .zsh_history.
However, the timestamps are in seconds since the epoch, and therefore
not quite well readable.
This simple script will parse .zsh_history and convert timestamps to
readable format. As a bonus, it will colourise the output.
You need python to run the scripts, and not much else.
- Installation
- copy zshistrc to /etc, or rename it to ~/.zshistrc, and modify according to your needs. Copy zshist somewhere in your path. Copy manpage to an appropriate place. That's all.
- Usage
- zshist without arguments will display $HOME/.zsh_history If there is an argument, and it is file, it will be displayed. If it is a directory, zshist will append .zsh_history to the argument and try to display this.
